This is a pretty rad new print by Shepard Fairey, you’ve gotta think this one will be important in the long-run. “Occupy Protester” is an 18″ x 24″ screenprint, has an edition of 450, and will cost $60. These go up Thursday, January 12th at a random time during the morning (Pacific Time). Visit ObeyGiant.com.

PS, you can also get a FREE Occupy Sticker by Mr. Fairey, you just have to send in a SASE. Get info at StickerRobot.com.

All hell will break loose when a Republican is Prez again. That’s how I see things. Politics is all about hypocrisy and you gotta pick the less of two evils. Does anybody remember George Bush and what he gave us?

Just becuz ur part of the 1% doesnt mean u cant support the movement – last I saw there were plenty of races in the million man march… Plus it says the $$ will be donated… Not a fan of Obey but damn give the man credit for doin somethin… How many other artists donatin $$ to anythin these days?

Whoever said Shep is a 1% has a small brain. My Anthropology teacher said race does not exist. Race is just a made up thing by the white folk to control society. I think that’s why so many hate on Obama. Damn Teabagger!

Typical lies and hateful spew from a from a college teacher that you’d expect as most of them are libs. Blame it on the white folk, which is your answer for everything. My acronym for the debate-ending names conservatives are called by liberals. If you disagree with the Left, you are one or all of the following — Sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist, bigoted.) I think you invoked the racist card in this instance or your professor did.

Isn’t Michael Moore part of the 1% with his huge multi million dollar mansion in Michigan from the millions he’s made from his sucky documentaries. It’s ironic that he speaks at Occupy Wallstreet. I for one commend Michael Moore for using capitalism to his advantage and making millions of dollars from it but the man costantly bases capitalism. Typical liberal thinking (think with your heart and nor your mind).

Oh yeah is the lesser of two evils now that you metion it. I don’t even think he’s evil, he’s just a sucky POTUS and we must replace him in November 2012.

I think he could have left off the 99% logo to allow the print to represent many different movements. Probably not the biggest deal if it’s no longer relevant 10 years from now though.

Gotta love Americans. We go on and on about rights and make every war about freedom but the second people exercise their right to assemble, people roll their eyes and cry about it. Exercising your rights is just as important as fighting for them. To suggest that people should not exercise them and just return quietly to the capitalist machine is unamerican.

People that bemoan these occupiers are the same type that criticized people in the civil rights movement, AIM, women’s rights and any other movement that resulted from injustice.

I think that the Occupy folks should all be shipped off to Libya where there’s actually something significant to protest. We live in a free and extremely privileged society and we should all just be grateful for what we have.

@Cragars – Are they the same people that bemoan the right to life activists and tea party activists? Are you saying that there is an injustice that has occured to the Occupy Wall Street Protesters? If so, then what injustice is that? I guess you could also say there is an injustice occuring when millions of babies are killed and that is why there are abortion protests and activists. It goes both ways Cragars, you can’t just call the civil right movement, AIM and women’s rights just causes that resulted injustice without including other conservative causes that are just. By the way, I’m all for civil rights and women’s rights.

So your comments stating that “People that bemoan these occupiers are the same type that criticized the civil rights movement” is inaccurate and a broad generalization based on ingorance and prejudice as far as I can see.

Quit impersonating Kyle, Kyle…
You’re making him sound like an idiot!
Maybe you should crawl out of your hole and think for yourself.
I will anxiously await your response…
It’s alright, I know you can’t help yourself.

So your comments stating that “Typical lies and hateful spew from a from a college teacher that you’d expect as most of them are libs. Blame it on the white folk, which is your answer for everything.

I am surprised by alot of coments on here, while sheps work has made him allot of cash, you can’t really hate on the dude for not standing up for what he believes in? All the proceeds of this are going to the occupy movement? I am not an American, so I don’t really want to coment on the way things are there, but I do think this movement has potential to make a real difference to everyone. I dont think its just as simple as get yourself a job and dont complain.

Reporter: What are you protesting about?
Protester: We are here representing the 99%
Reporter: Ok, but what do you want to see happen?
Protester: WOOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!! Yeah!!
Reporter: Wait. What?!
Protester: We will never give up! WOOooooo!!!
Reporter: Ok. Good luck.

I’m sure there will most likely be an offset with the times cover background in the near future. Shep has been lazy for awhile now and it has already been made in adobe so that’s a nobrainer for him to kick out

@Kyle: lol@trying to turn this into conservative vs. lib debate. Guess people are just trained.

Reading comprehension I always say. When I describe a general type of person that bemoans people exercising their right to assemble I would assume that a reader would naturally see that applying to people assembling IN GENERAL. At what point did I draw a line? Point it out please. You see where I said, “and any other movement that resulted from an injustice,”? You see that? Can’t really list every single one so I just brought up some big ones that are historic. They are American movements that benefited both sides which were comprised of people from all areas of American society.

Protesting to bring about a change or rectify an injustice is the American way and there are always those mouthbreathers that shudder when they see protesters with signs and say they should just go home. If I have to make it simple, yes. Yes it applies to “conservative movements.” Clear?

The protesters suffered the injustice of professionals behaving like kids in a candy store when figuring out they could lend sickening amounts of money to people with horrible credit, and speculating over and selling things known to be worthless for profit. Both practices that served to further inflate and burst the housing bubble. They’ve suffered the injustice of dealing with a POS economy as a result of those unethical/greedy actions while the largest banks profited and grew larger. When you’re the backbone of the country and likely to ride out the shitstorm it’s like buffet time at the lesser bank joint. Also while no one has been held accountable. Nobody when Bush was on the way out and again nobody with Obama at the helm. During older crisis’ people have been held accountable. You don’t agree? That’s cool. At least show some respect to people having the balls to actually use the rights people died to gain and defend. Dismissing them as lazy is a broad generalization resulting from ignorance.

My comment seemed inaccurate or incomplete because you’re so wrapped up in this “Us vs. Them” BS that you can’t approach it free of bias and preconceived notions.

anyone get one? My shit froze at the submit payment button. Seems like that happens often. Same thing happened on the imperial grenade print thing, but the payment went through. anywho, was wanting to bury this one in my flat file along with the other shepard fairey, ’till he passes or history or some shit and they’re worth something for my kids, when i have them

I think it is funny all those who bash his work, there sure is a secondary market for his work. Some people will make 6x the amount they paid for the print. If people are willing to pay for it, let them…who are we to judge. It is their money.

@Natas: Not only that, but Fairey (and of course Banksy) have fostered a market for art that really didn’t exist previously. Does anyone seriously think Olly Moss and Tyler Stout would be selling the shit outta their work if it weren’t for Mr. Fairey? This tool don’t think so.

(Obey/ PayPal)
I felt nauseous for a few hours after the drop from the long minutes of stress and uncertainty getting through the purchase. I’m definitely keeping this one in the family.

@ Tool I thought this was unflippable and sellers would make 30$ on it? Why are you even still hanging around after that ridiculous statement that made you look like exactly what you call yourself. Go away.

Terrible day. Sat up till 1AM on Obey refreshing page. Then I came home from work for 2 hours. Refreshed the hell out of Obey. Thought I was in and Paypal wouldnt go through. These EBay prices are way too much. God damn, I’ll buy one for 200$ . 500-700$ crazy. I feel gutted but hell; aint worth that much. What a fucked up day!!!

Skank, that sucks but there was a good Zelda drop today. It was only $30.
@ sorority chick, Tool is right. People are upset that he has become too big. It is just like when Metallica released the Black album. Lost some of the original fan base, but gained millions of fans and sold out stadiums.

Is there anyone besides me aware of the fact that many times, payment doesn’t come through on eBay auctions? It’d only take 4-5 “entrepreneurs” to manipulate things for the gawking masses. Amazing. Meh. I don’t care, maybe I can actually unload mine on some yokel.

Everybody is calling him Shep like you know the guy! His name is Frank and everybody posting here is a piece of work! The only person that will know who Shepard is ? Is Shepard and I would think he is trying to help the world and make a living! So freaking what he is doing well? All of you are jealous fools and would love to be in his position! And the people said that he became famous because of the he made the Obama Poster? Well that Obama poster is going to get him 6 months or didn’t you read NY times that he pleaded guilty for coaching a witness and deleting files for the AP case!And all that money and making the first African American President wont get him out of this!So I would rather be middle class and not be in jail for people that are jealous and have no time to sit here and make comments of a guy that had a great work ethic for 20 years to get were he is? ONE LOVE,ONE BLOOD AND SEMPER FI!
I ask myself why I fought for you idiots everyday because all Americans can do is bitch about people they wont to be!
